Frank Frazetta hardcover in stores next week

Just in time for the upcoming holiday season, Image Comics releases THE FANTASTIC WORLDS OF FRANK FRAZETTA, a mammoth hardcover featuring the first-ever authorized comics based off some of Frazetta's most famous paintings!

“THE FANTASTIC WORLDS OF FRANK FRAZETTA is a must have book for any Frazetta fan," Frazetta Comics Editor Jay Fotos said. "We wanted to make this first installment as cool as you can make it so not only did we bring the stories and art in an oversized format, but we stuffed it with as much extra content that we could. There's well over sixty pages of original material that no fan has ever seen before!"

In the tradition of FRANK FRAZETTA'S DEATH DEALER DELUXE HC, THE FANTASTIC WORLDS OF FRANK FRAZETTA showcases Frazetta's first fully approved comics as they've never been seen before! The first addition includes all four of the current one shots including FRANK FRAZETTA'S DARK KINGDOM by Mark Kidwell & Tim Vigil, FRANK FRAZETTA'S CREATURES by Rick Remender and Peter Bergting, FRANK FRAZETTA'S DRACULA MEETS THE WOLF-MAN by Steve Niles and Francesco Francavilla and the prequel to FRANK FRAZETTA'S DEATH DEALER, FRANK FRAZETTA'S SWAMP DEMON by Joshua Ortega and Josh Medors. Bonus materials include scripts, preliminary sketches, unused pages and much, much more!
